Early 40s woman with a history of submuscular breast augmentation. She was diagnosed with breast cancer, treated with chemotherapy and skin sparing mastectomy. Due to her low BMI, autologous (own tissue flap based reconstruction) was not a viable option. We performed two stage Alloplastic (implant based) breast reconstruction. She under went tissue expander and acellular dermal matrix placement over the muscle, subsequent expansion, and tissue expander exchange to permanent implant with fat grafting to her mastectomy skin flaps.
